Small Things by Wanda M. Morris (Alibis Collection)

When a jewelry maker’s only escape from an abusive marriage is threatened, she must go to creative lengths to protect it in a haunting short story by the award-winning author of What You Leave Behind.

Hannah and her husband appear to live a good life. No one knows the emotional nightmare Hannah endures behind closed doors. A blessed freedom is in the jewelry she crafts in the shed behind her house. But what will Hannah do when her husband threatens to take away even the smallest things that bring her joy? Hannah has a plan. Now it’s just a matter of pulling it off without leaving a single trace behind.

Wanda M. Morris’s Small Things is part of Alibis, a collection of stories about lies, truth, and deception. It’s just a matter of what you can get away with. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. 

This was my least favorite in the Alibis Collection, I think because of how Hannah's husband treated her.  But the plot was still good.
